Question

Quantitative comparisons between the growth of the living system can be made in two ways:

(i) Measurement and the comparison of total growth per unit time is called the $....a....$ growth rate.

(ii) The growth of the given system per unit time expressed on a common basis, eg.; per unit initial parameter is called $...b....$ growth rate.

• A. a-absolute, b-relative
• B. a-relative, b-absolute
• C. a-arithmetic, b-geometric
• D. a-geometric, b-arithmetic

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Quantitative comparisons between the growth of living system can also be made in two ways : (i) measurement and the comparison of total growth per unit time is called the absolute growth rate. (ii) The growth of the given system per unit time expressed on a common basis, e.g., per unit initial parameter is called the relative growth rate.
